Album description

Hymn is a spiritual work that symbolically expresses my beliefs. It opens with Christian symbolism (God the Father, high in heaven, sends His Son down to earth, and the Holy Spirit is spread throughout the world). High and low pitches symbolise these moves. Then there is what I call The Three Unities: Unity of Place, Unity of Time and Unity of Action (these are Aristotelian terms that I have adopted and given spiritual meanings)--everywhere is one, all time is eternally now, and all actions are unified and cyclical, like the Ouroboros biting its tail. Next there is Hindu symbolism: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer. The rising and falling dynamics and pitches symbolise this creation, life and destruction. Then there is a return to the Three Unities themes, and we move on to Buddhist symbolism. An abundance of tritones and notes that begin and end soon after independently symbolise the world of suffering and impermanence. Then there is a return to the Three Unities themes to finish the piece off.

The String Quartet is in four movements: i) Largo lugubro ii) Fugue iii) Allegro con moto iv) Presto veemente. This piece, like the Hymn, uses an experimental harmonic system I devised, based on equal octave divisions. Melody and harmony is created by paralleling the divisions.

Awesome

Very nice and interesting album.
The first track is beautiful and with a lot of space in it. A wonderful display of voices through very inspiring harmonies.
Being the voice, the principle of any music, your Hymn, sounds very real and holy.
In the second one I listen to the complexity of time. A very sweet and tender piece too.
This is an amazing musical work, deserving to be listened and appreciated.
Congratulations for your great musical talent Martin!
Best greetiings. Zino

This music is really focused! Like a first song its mostly use a choir voice. Little bit monotone on beginning. But its a perfect for a soundtrack because its really like a has a story! Live music! Second song is focused to a string/cello voice! Amazing orchestra! Like a other album. Melody is perfect but sound is too MIDI. But i could hear the great composing skill on it! Thanks for share!

Very suggestive! Makes me feel like I am part of 2001 a space odyssey - in my space suite floating in deep space :-)) with my security wire cut but HAL.

Beautiful but scary!

Creativity Expressed To A Wonderful High Standard & Caliber Of Amazing Avantgarde & Classical Music ...

28/02/10

Heavenly atmospherical choir like vocals, that sing in pure and utter harmony across this peaceful, moving, dramatic, enchanting, very lightly stimulating minimal track of classical, avantgarde sound-scape.. I loved the depths and lows let alone the pitches of each and every voice you hear in immaculate detail on this track. And the minimalist way.. the space between vocals and nothing is heard..Just the voices sing a pure and utter indulgence of the bewitching blissful kind. Quite therapeutic and relaxing and calming of the inner soul and spirit as you listen and take on board this.

Sinister, creepy even, thought provoking, dramatic, scary, haunting,sound-scape that could be used in some action, blockbuster creepy movie score..As it demonstrates the skills and creativity let alone mastership of the sting instruments and use both the harmony and melody in each equal measures heard here on this exceptional piece of atmospherical music score..Let your imagination roam around inside this music and see the strange and wonder creatures appear within sight of your minds eye.. And feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end... powerful, dynamic and begs you come in more and more as you listen and become one with it nature and its secrets inside of it..

i wouldn´t use that synthetic strings and try 4 organs - but very remarkable and we (me and my wife) didn´t feel mislead...

(the "hymn" reminds me on Gorecki´s works for choir)
